Greeley school board member and anti-MLK DJ Reese slapped with restraining...

Greeley police Thursday served controversial local school board member Brett Reese with a restraining order. Officers were acting on a request filed by Greeley radio station KFKA owner and General Manager Justin Sasso, who said Reese made a phone call to the station threatening a "shoot out." Reese told media outlets this week that he would carry his .45 caliber pistol with him even to school board meetings to defend himself against would-be attackers. He said he has received threats since news broke that he was airing a white-nationalist anti-Martin Luther King Jr message at his own "Pirate" radio station in Greeley. Reese reportedly threatened Sasso with the "shoot out" after KFKA began wooing Reese's Pirate radio advertisers.
